After an introduction like that those four Shadow Beasts can't help but die quickly. Just like the mafia families, they have been riding on their infamy alone for too long.

Kurapica's anger is so delicious, backed up by actual power. It was just so fucking awesome to see that smug look wash off of Uvo's face.
"You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

It'd be more impressive if the guy wasn't fucking paralyzed. This doesn't make Kurapica look particularly badass. Just opportunistic.Originally Posted by Uchiha Barles
After the idiot shadow beasts, it does make Kurapika look very intelligent, though.
I'm guessing the Shadow Beasts' infamy for slowly killing their victim(s) in the worst way possible was what kept the checks and balances in the Mafia world (dying underground? paralysing poison? leeches hatching in urinary tract?). But yes, it was very stupid to go in against elite thieves with regular arsenal against humans rather than instant killings.
If you guys were waiting for your usual shoot, sorry to inform you that the next ep will air next week. Or so it seems.
I'd like to be proven wrong though...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
So that's why...
F**k.
Peace.
New episode out!

The mafia guys are all losers through and through. No wonder Killua's family is making money big enough to afford a whole mountain, as the only capable people the mafia has are hired outsiders (Kurapika included).
Of course, I know the story, watched the old anime and such, but still ... I wonder if there is a proper explanation as to why the Genryodan-members are THAT incredibly strong. Is it typical Naruto-esque bullshit a la "well duh...", or is there a real reason? Afaik, they didnīt engage in a nen vow like Kurapika, which *could* explain their strength.
And yes, the whole mafia party is one big disappointment.
remember Gon is maybe one in a million?
If we're on a fictionnal planet with as much people as ours, that makes like 5 000 extremely gifted people.
And Gon already is a monster for his young age. Imagine him with another 10 years, since all of the others seem to be in their mid 20s. Some even older.

To be fair one in a million people would more likely associate with a quasi organization like the Phantom Troupe than be hirelings of lousy mafiosos. They could make money any way they wanted, so why not do something potentially challenging and interesting and definitely unique? With lesser people options are more limited and competition more fierce, so belonging to a group of mafia's elite dogs might be more tempting, especially since it gives a notorious reputation for free. Naturally most super talents would be out there doing whatever they want alone or with temporary colleagues, if they aren't bosses of whatever organizations themselves.
Yeah, there are a number of people out there that are quite strong. Not to mention, even seeing how strong the members of the phantom troupe are, we still don't really know what the achievable power limits are. So all in all, they might not be that strong. But as of right now, they're beasts. In addition to that, the selection process seems like no joke. The most probable way into the troupe is to take out a current member, so being in that group, you'd better be cock-sure of yourself.

Pretty much this.
The way the organization is set up assures that they have the best staff to run. The money rewards and the sport of bloodshed itself is insurmountable and would appeal to anyone insanely strong to join.
Episode 46 out, go get some!

I found it funny yet very fitting they had to pay a large sum in order to... In order to qualify to cash in if they catch a target? So, no matter what happens, somebody is making good money. I wonder what would have happened if they didn't pay that five million, but still later brought in one of the target. It's not like the mafia could have simply claimed the target because anybody catching one would need to be stronger than the target, whom the mafia already failed to defeat, yet catching them would be of priceless importance in many ways.
So, I'd say it was stupid to pay. But then again, it was Leorio in charge, so I suppose stupid things couldn't be avoided.
The next ep should be jolly good in any case.
